COMBINED GATE HINGE AND ROLLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,065, dated June 2,1885.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN H. CARLILE, of Greeley, in the county ofAnderson and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Combined Gate Hinges and Rollers; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itpertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which form partof this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in combined gate hinges androllers; and it consists in the combination of a hinge-leaf which isprovided with a screw for securing it to the gate-post, a bracket whichis pivoted to the hinge, and which is provided with a dependingprojection which serves as a guide for hearing against one of the lowerrails of the gate, and for preventing it from inclining out of aperpendicular line, and the roller which is jonrnaled in the forkedupper ends of the bracket, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

The object of my invention is to produce a combined gate hinge androller for sliding gates, and which is adapted to maintain the gate in avertical position while it is being opened or closed, and thus preventit from sagging or binding sidewise against the post.

- In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective of myinvention complete. Fig. 2 is an elevation taken from the rear side,showing my improvement adapted to a post and a gate suspended on theroller, the post and the rails of the gate being shown in dotted lines.

A represents the hinge, which is composed of the bearing-plate 13,having the openings 0, for the admission of screws, and anoutwardlyprojecting lug or bracket, D, which is provided with an openingthrough which a pivotal pin is adapted to pass, as shown in dotted linesin Fig. 2. From the rear side of the plate B, at its center, extends ascrew shank or bolt, E, which is adaptedto enter the post and to supportthe weight of the gate. The screws which are passed through the Openings G serve merely to maintain the hinged segment in a verticalposition.

F represents a bracket, which is provided with the opening G, forreceiving the lug D. A bolt, H, passes down through the center of thebracket and through the opening that is formed in the lug D, and pivotsthe bracket upon said lug. A downwardly:projecting hearing, I, is formedwith the bracket, and this bearing serves as a guide against which thesecond rail of the gate bears. From the upper end of the bracket extendthe bearing arms K, in between which are placed the journals of theroller L. This roller supports the upper rail of the gate, and allowsthe gate to be moved back and forth in opening or closing it with verylittle friction.

Having thus described my invention, I claim In a hinge for a slidinggate, the COlllblllZlr tion of the plate B, provided with a screwshank,E, and having the projection D on its outer side, with the bracket F,having a recess in its side to receive the projection D, the arms K uponits top, and the hearing I on its lower end, the roller L, and thepivotal bolt which binds the two parts of the hinge together,substantially as shown and described. In testimony whereof I aflix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN HENRY OARLILE.
